nd holy frick. This thread is fricking stupid. Dude fumbles one time and people act like he’s Preston Howard. Probably the same losers that talked shite about Bo Nix during his time at Auburn.
He loafed all night. Literally played more DB than WR tonight. If he’d run on half the deep balls he’d caught at least 2. Ran 4 yards backwards on his 1st catch. The fumbled
Tape don’t lie. He played like arse

I'm more aggravated he turned back inside and was fighting for yards instead of getting out of bounds when he clearly wasn't going to get beyond the defenders. If he was aware of the situation, that fumble never happens. I can't decide if it was ego or ignorance..

That's a perfect example of the little things the offensive coaches have missed just trying to field a somewhat organized offense the past few years. They haven't been able to work on situational type stuff because they can't get the big stuff figured out to work on the little things. Worst Offensive coaching in the history of coaching the past 5 seasons.

Our team is so bad anyone that makes a play looks like an all star. Coleman has 680 yards this year and is only under 1000 because of his lack of effort and dropped balls. Maybe he turns out to be an nfl player, but most nfl teams aren’t good either and great players don’t loaf just because they aren’t on a good team.
ETA: if Coleman put in future nfl type of performance this year we probably win 2 more games. And I’m not talking about his fumble, just in general to sum of this year for him it’s complete lack of effort

Do you think his watch got in the way and caused the fumble. Because I think every receiver should be wearing a watch while playing. It shows commitment to the team and has no hints of “look at me”.

I thought he got hurt early on as well

His production is COMPLETELY replaceable. The fans who think we need to give him $2, $3, $4 million and retain all the coaches he likes so that he will come back are complete pussies.
Completely agree. When he wore his decorative watch during the game I thought “WTF does this clown think he is”. He’s a great player with a lot of talent, but some of those guys are not well structured for team-first environments.

I think the world of Coleman in the field. I think he is a really good player. All that said, if he wants more money or he portals, let him portal. Auburn doesn’t need a standout star receiver, we need linemen and a quarterback to get the cast of receivers the ball.

Cam Coleman at Auburn:
2024: 37 rec, 598 yards, 8 TD's
2025: 57 rec, 725 yards, 5 TD's
Sure, he would probably stand out more in a better offense, but that just proves that he isn't some mythical talent that is elite by himself and can take over games regardless of who is around him.
Auburn fans talk him up as if this is Randy Moss at Marshall. The kid is clearly talented, but can we get real for a second? I've never seen him break a single tackle, nor does he ever blow past DB's or rack up yards after the catch. He doesn't make defenders miss and he isn't really a threat with the ball in his hands.
He is a jump-ball specialist with ELITE ball-skills, but he also tends to drop way too many easy uncontested passes. Don't get me wrong, he is ELITE at his one standout trait, but the rest of his game is clearly super average if you want to evaluate objectively.
Auburn fans have battered-wife syndrome. As soon as they latch onto some marginally talented player they pretend like they will never find someone better. Coleman has not been worth whatever we have paid him. There are LOTS of receivers in the country who can put up ~700 yard seasons for less money than what we have paid Coleman.

Cam Coleman hasnt been some herculean player that leads. He isnt even our first glimpse of elite WR or a menace
He doesn't have enough dog in him. Seth Williams had more dog in him than Coleman does.
He isnt even KLS. KLS was not as talented but he was more consistent and actually showed up to pick a fight against Bama. KLS is the type of receiver we want.
Coleman is more like Noah Thomas of A&M-Georgia. Freak athlete that picks his spots to do well.
I want Auburn to continue paying Coleman whatever he wants but his hype is focused on 40% of his jump balls, not being a receiver.

Yeah, I was hoping Singleton would be this year's KLS. But man he was kinda a let down based off what we were sold about him. He tried to dance and juke people out of their shoes and ended up slipping down instead almost every time he got the ball in space.
KLS was that guy that would get a 1on1 in space and put his head into the defenders chest for an extra 6 yards. I loved his mentality as a WR.

He's not even a "freak athlete". He is as frail as a twig, and on deep-balls the DB is ALWAYS glued to his hip. He probably runs a ~4.5, he clearly isn't that fast.
He is a more natural WR than Sammie Coates, but Coates was clearly more physically imposing/dangerous. Coates was built like a brick shite-house and he could run behind the defense at will.
Coates showed up to the Combine at 6'2 210 pounds and ran a 4.43, vertical jumped 41", repped the bench 23 times, and had a near 12-foot broad jump. THAT is a "freak athlete".

Coleman has the tools to be an outstanding WR, but he needs a lot of coaching. He has to learn to give 100% 100% of the time. People complaining about his speed don’t see that he didn’t get many opportunities this year with the lack of QB protection go deep. He is deceptively fast and has more tools than any WR that Auburn has had in a long time-and getting better coaching will bring those out.

Yep I see Cam as the best jump ball 50/50 guy in college football, but I agree with metafour that he is not a good YAC guy. But that's OK if you have other guys for that role which AU does in Singleton and Simmons.
Cam really shines at corner routes.
Perry Thompson is pretty much a clone of Coates. I have always thought that.

He's been hobbled for weeks. Wasn't it the OU game he cooked guys on stop and gos multiple times and Arnold couldn't get him the ball?
Contrarians have never been cool meta and I would absolutely write the best wr talent this campus has ever seen a blank check and give him one more year to fix the drops in a system thats broken school records multiple times.
Not a freak athlete. You've got to be fricking kidding me. Dude has pogo sticks for fricking legs.

You severely underestimate the caliber of athletes we have had at WR. Some of them were more athlete than receiver, but Coleman himself isn't some "natural" once you objectively look at things like drops. We have had multiple guys who were clearly as athletic if not clearly more athletic than Coleman is.
Again, Coleman is talented...but he isn't some otherworldly talent, and this is obvious by the fact that he depends on ball-tracking/contested catches so often. You say that he has not had enough "opportunities" with deep-balls, but that is nonsense. They threw multiple to him yesterday and that Bama DB was glued to him the entire game. We've had two WR's in recent history who were clearly more dangerous down-field than Coleman has proven to be: Sammie Coates, and Darius Slayton (who has been a solid NFL receiver for 6 seasons now). Both of those guys were ~20+ YPC receivers at Auburn. Cam Coleman's YPC this season is just 12.7, and last season it was 16.2.
Slayton at the NFL Combine: 6'1 190, 4.39 forty, 40.5" vertical. That kid was constantly open deep behind the secondary.
